Tea in Paris

I have only been to Paris once - on the occasion of my 50th birthday - and oh! what a glorious city it was! We enjoyed Afternoon Tea - French Afternoon Tea - at the 30 rue du Bourg-Tibourg location of Mariage Freres, and later enjoyed even more tea at Angelinas. (Oui, oui - you better believe we also had the hot chocolate!)

I can vicariously walk the streets of Paris every day now, thanks to one of the most beautiful blogs on the internet called "Paris Breakfasts". Francophile-artist Carol Gillott describes her Paris Breakfasts as "A Painting-A-Day blog that chronicles my watercolor adventures in Paris' pastry and chocolate shops."

If you are not familiar with Carol's work, I urge you to visit her blog. Her photography and watercolors are simply beautiful!
